In a hotel on Michigan Avenue or a warehouse venue?
A downtown hotel will run you AT LEAST $120 a person, you might count on $150. Warehouse spaces will be budgeted differently, as you’ll have to piece out catering, decorating, alcohol, wait staff, tables, linens, china/silverware, insurance, venue rental fee, etc. (the hotels will roll that into one number). You’re still probably looking at about the same as the hotel. Keep in mind that places book early, especially over holiday weekends. If you’re thinking Labor Day, 2009, you’re probably already too late–some of the venues we looked at booked 15 months ahead.
